Dead by Daylight's Junji Ito's Collection Explained



Dead By Daylight is getting new content, revealed during a recent live stream. The new content includes Dead By Daylight‘s Doomed Course chapter, which was announced alongside new skins and outfits created in collaboration with Japanese horror manga artist and writer Junji Ito. Drawn from Ito’s most popular horror stories, there are eight skins in total among the Killers and Survivors. The collaboration will launch on January 7th, 2025.




This will be Dead By Daylight’s first collaboration with Junji Ito, but it’s one that is sure to be a hit with horror fans. Junji Ito’s created some of the most iconic horror manga, and his work particularly excels in body horror and the unknown, with a Lovecraftian style of storytelling. This style lends itself well to Dead By Daylight in particular, with the different cosmetic skins enhancing the game’s horror more than ever before. Most of the skins are for Killers and feature Ito’s most iconic villains, but some of the Survivors have skins for Ito’s memorable heroes, most notably Tsukiko from Tomie.

Dead By Daylight’s Collaboration with Junji Ito is a Must for Horror Fans

Fans of Junji Ito’s stories will recognize the outfits and legendary skins for the Dead By Daylight collaboration, which have been faithfully recreated from the stories they originally appeared in. Some of the most iconic characters, notably Miss Fuchi and Tomie, appear as recurring characters in several of Ito’s stories. Miss Fuchi appears in the story Fashion Model, as a model and actress whose appearance becomes more monstrous and disturbing over the course of the story, distorting to the form seen in Dead By Daylight. She also makes appearances in the stories Rumors and Voices in the Dark.


Tomie has a larger role, with an entire anthology of stories dedicated to her. Tomie appears as a beautiful teenage girl or young woman with a beauty spot beneath one eye, but upon closer investigation, particularly in artwork or photographs, her true form is revealed to be monstrous. Her form that will feature in Dead By Daylight is one of her most iconic and appeared in Painter, depicting Tomie with two faces.
